The Adelaide Fringe has announced the winner of the 2021 Schools Poster Competition as Isabella, a Year 2 student at St Mary’s College.
Isabella’s artwork shows a girl at the Fringe with a star/lightning eye design representing a performer on stage. Her artwork was inspired by all the colours and lights at the Fringe and features handmade confetti.
There were 311 entries in this second year of the Schools Poster Competition from Government, Independent, Catholic and Homeschool systems with the student artist ages ranging from Years 1 to 10. Students were asked to show what they enjoyed about Fringe or what Fringe meant to them in their artwork and the judging panel was impressed by the fantastic imagination, skills and creativity of the student artists.
Visitors to the exhibition can enter a competition to win a $250 home delivery pack from Wills & Daniel. The Top 100 will also appear as a special montage in a Fringe colouring-in book featuring Fringe posters from previous years. The book is available to pre-order at https://adelaidefringe.com.au/shop/
Isabella’s artwork will appear on the cover of the 2021 Schools Booking Guide, and thanks to Program Partner 9News Isabella’s class has won a performance by a 2021 Fringe artist.
